This week we will try and focus on the role of social protection instruments in forestry.
You may wish to consider discussing the third question:
Which countries have social protection instruments and programmes that:
target forest-dependent people?
are implemented with the aim of promoting sustainable forestry among the poor?
are integrated with sustainable forest management programmes?
Tips: Give information on social protection need, social protection program objectives, design, target group and effectiveness regarding resilience.
I would like to draw your attention to a background document on social protection. Among the discussion documents on the top right corner of this webpage is a background document that introduces and defines social protection and the key instruments such as cash transfers, food assistance/aid, school feeding, subsidies, public works etc. Some famous examples of social protection programs include the Productive Safety Net Program (public works) in Ethiopia, Opportunidades Condicational Cash Tranfer program in Mexico, Cash transfers for orphans and vulnerable children in Kenya, Bolsa Familia in Brazil, the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA public works) in India and many more.
